Shane Steichen explained why he chose Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson as the Colts' starting quarterback.

Daniel Jones is an NFL starter once again. Jones won the Indianapolis Colts ’ quarterback job over Anthony Richardson, head coach Shane Steichen announced Tuesday. “He’s our starting quarterback for the season,” Steichen said. “I don’t want to have a quick leash on that. I feel confident in his abilities.”

Steichen said Jones and Anthony Richardson both competed "really hard," but that "consistency" was the biggest thing he was looking for and that Jones "did a great job" on that front. He added that Richardson has "made strides" in those areas, but still needs to develop.
